The BANDIT II can use a CDMA, EVDO,HSDPA, GSM GPRS, or GSM EDGE wireless card. For more information, see Wireless Cardsfor BANDIT Products.1.2 Status LEDsLight-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front of the BANDIT II indicate the status ofconnections. The following sections describe the LEDs.1.2.1 General StatusThe following general rules apply to the BANDIT products’ LEDs:• A lit green Power LED indicates that the unit is being supplied with power.• A flashing Alarm LED indicates that the BANDIT has detected an alarm, or that thesystem needs attention, or that power to the system has failed.• A lit green Link LED indicates that there is a connection to another device, including anEthernet hub or switch.Table 1-5 describes the BANDIT II’s LEDs.
